Chapter 83: Golden Muscles Jade Bones, Tiger-Leopard Thunder Roar, Qi and Blood Furnace

The dome was pitch black, and the earth was desolate.

The Primordial Spirit Cave was even more vast than imagined.

Not only that, but it was also divided into three layers.

The first layer, the outermost and most expansive, was inhabited primarily by Primordial Spirit Guards.

A flash of sword light swept horizontally.

It was just a simple slash, yet it carried an overwhelmingly fierce power, instantly killing a Primordial Spirit Guard. Chen Feng absorbed its Primordial Spirit Essence and refined it without delay.

"One hundred."

Chen Feng sheathed his sword and murmured to himself.

Since entering the Primordial Spirit Cave, only about half a day had passed, yet he had already slain a hundred Primordial Spirit Guards, refining and absorbing a hundred strands of Primordial Spirit Essence. His cultivation had advanced significantly, equivalent to the gains of a hundred days of arduous training under normal circumstances.

Chen Feng could feel that his cultivation was inching closer to achieving Golden Muscles Jade Bones.

"Below should be the second layer of the cave."

Staring at a dark entrance about a dozen meters away, Chen Feng didn’t hesitate. He activated his movement technique, his body as agile and swift as a swimming dragon, crossing the distance in an instant and plunging inside.

Descending continuously, the space suddenly opened up, and he arrived at the second layer of the cave.

The light here was even dimmer.

Chen Feng’s eyes gleamed with faint golden light, sharp enough to pierce through the darkness as if it were nothing.

His perception was also heightened to its peak, allowing him to detect the flow of energy within a hundred meters around him.

Before long, Chen Feng spotted another Primordial Spirit Guard. He drew his sword and cut it down.

After successive breakthroughs in the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm, even without employing the Sword Unity Realm, Chen Feng was more than capable of defeating and killing ordinary practitioners at the Twelfth Transformation of the Body Forging Realm. If he used the Sword Unity Realm, it would be an instant kill, giving him the confidence to face the three Saint Sons who had awakened God-Grade Divine Traits head-on.

After returning to the sect, he had trained diligently for three months.

His cultivation had reached the peak of the Eleventh Transformation of the Body Forging Realm, pushing his strength to an even higher level—at least several times greater than before.

Coupled with his continuous comprehension of the Sword Unity Realm and relentless practice of various sword techniques and martial arts, Chen Feng was absolutely confident he could easily defeat his past self from three months ago.

As for exactly how strong he had become, even Chen Feng himself wasn’t entirely sure.

But one thing was certain: ordinary practitioners at the Eleventh Transformation of the Body Forging Realm couldn’t withstand a single strike from him.

With his perception at its peak, he advanced relentlessly, cutting down one Primordial Spirit Guard after another. The Primordial Spirit Essence they left behind was continuously refined by him, steadily increasing his progress toward Golden Muscles Jade Bones.

Gradually, a faint golden hue began to shimmer beneath his skin and muscles, while his bones, originally iron-gray, grew increasingly pure and translucent, as if tempered by time, slowly taking on a jade-like quality.

Before long, Chen Feng spotted Yuan Hualong locked in fierce combat with a white Primordial Spirit.

The white Primordial Spirit hurled two bursts of white energy at Yuan Hualong, who, with his Black Dragon Battle Physique activated to its limit, dodged swiftly while countering with a dragon-like, ferocious punch.

"A Primordial Spirit General..."

After observing for a moment and confirming that Yuan Hualong could handle the creature, Chen Feng turned and left.

It didn’t take long before Chen Feng encountered a Primordial Spirit General of his own.

Perhaps because the Primordial Spirit Cave had been sealed for a century and had only recently reopened, the number of Primordial Spirits born within it was far greater than usual.

The Primordial Spirit General hurled two bursts of energy directly at Chen Feng, both of which he deftly evaded. The ground was struck, exploding into craters over two meters deep.

Treading Waves Step!

Heaven and Earth Wandering Dragon!

In an instant, Chen Feng closed the distance to the Primordial Spirit General, drew his sword, and unleashed a horizontal slash. The blade moved like a swift gale, a raging tempest, a roaring storm. This strike carried the essence of the Three Ultimate Swords of Heavenly Wind, a killing move Chen Feng had comprehended through relentless refinement of his swordsmanship.

Heavenly Wind Annihilating Slash!

Fast, fierce, and overwhelming—it embodied these traits to perfection. Though the Primordial Spirit General was struck, it was not severed. Instead, it was sent flying, its white energy dispersing before swiftly being drawn back in.

"Ultimate Sword!"

With a low shout, Chen Feng's figure flashed like lightning. A single slash!

The sword light condensed into a razor-straight line, sharp beyond measure, cleaving through everything as if dividing heaven and earth with stark clarity. The Primordial Spirit General's body was instantly severed.

The white energy could no longer coalesce, scattering rapidly in all directions like wisps of wind. Soon after, the Primordial Spirit General's form completely dissipated, leaving behind only a strand of white essence.

Though as fine as a strand of hair, the aura it contained was far more potent and pure. Without hesitation, Chen Feng absorbed it. Under the refinement of the Divine Talisman Of Creation, he immediately sensed the changes within himself.

"A single strand of Primordial Spirit General Essence equals ten strands of Primordial Spirit Guard Essence. Not only that, its quality is incomparable, and its tempering effect on Golden Muscles Jade Bones is beyond imagination."

Chen Feng carefully observed. In terms of quantity, one strand of Primordial Spirit General Essence matched ten strands of Primordial Spirit Guard Essence, but in quality, it was fundamentally different. Overall, refining one strand of Primordial Spirit General Essence enhanced him more than twenty strands of Primordial Spirit Guard Essence.

"I have a premonition—with at most three more strands of Primordial Spirit General Essence, I can truly master Golden Muscles Jade Bones. At that point, I’ll break through the bottleneck and ascend to the Twelfth Transformation of the Body Forging Realm."

Chen Feng couldn’t help but murmur to himself, a flicker of excitement and anticipation flashing in his eyes. With a foundation like his, once he broke through to the Twelfth Transformation, how immense would his improvement be?

"By then, even without entering the Sword Unity Realm, an ordinary Twelfth Transformation practitioner probably wouldn’t withstand a single strike from me."

Slaying three Primordial Spirit Generals was no challenge for Chen Feng. If one sword strike wasn’t enough, he’d simply use two.

After refining and absorbing three more strands of Primordial Spirit General Essence, Chen Feng felt his skin and muscles surge violently. His originally bronze complexion gradually shifted, the faint golden hue within growing more pronounced, spreading across his entire body.

When the golden hue completely replaced the bronze, covering his skin and muscles, Chen Feng felt them tremble incessantly, his qi and blood churning as if nurturing an overwhelmingly powerful force.

His iron-gray bones also underwent a transformation, their color fading, becoming increasingly translucent. Gradually, it was as if his metallic bones had endured countless ages, washed by the river of time, now exuding a faint jade-like radiance.

Once every bone in his body had turned to jade, Chen Feng felt them tremble once more.

The skin, muscles, tendons, and bones resonated and vibrated, while the Force within his body surged forth, circulating in a grand cycle that washed over his internal organs, continuously strengthening them.

Faintly, Chen Feng's bones and tendons trembled, emitting a series of roars akin to those of tigers and leopards. His internal organs, tempered and refined, pulsed and writhed, producing deep, thunderous rumbles.

"Tiger-Leopard Thunder Roar!"

Chen Feng couldn't help but show a trace of astonishment.

The so-called Tiger-Leopard Thunder Roar was not the actual roar of tigers and leopards, nor the rumble of thunder. Instead, it was the resonant vibration produced when one's bones, tendons, and internal organs were tempered to an astonishing degree. Ordinary practitioners at the Twelfth Transformation of the Body Forging Realm could never achieve this.

Only when breaking through from the Twelfth Transformation to the Thirteenth Transformation of the Body Forging Realm could one trigger the Tiger-Leopard Thunder Roar.

"Could it be that my foundation is already comparable to that of an ordinary Thirteenth Transformation practitioner?" Chen Feng couldn't help but entertain this wild thought.

However, within the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm, the divine traits devoured by the Divine Talisman Of Creation numbered in the hundreds. Even if he had only received a fraction of the benefits, it had forged an incredibly solid foundation for him—one that few could rival.

With such an astonishing foundation, combined with the peak of the sixth layer of the Huntian Sword Body...

It didn’t seem particularly strange that he had triggered the Tiger-Leopard Thunder Roar upon breaking through to the Twelfth Transformation of the Body Forging Realm.

The Tiger-Leopard Thunder Roar was not just a symbol—it also brought immense benefits, accelerating his tempering and transformation.

With the initial completion of Golden Muscles Jade Bones, Chen Feng's Huntian Sword Force surged wildly, continuously vibrating and refining under the roaring resonance of the Tiger-Leopard Thunder Roar, as if tempered a hundred times into steel.

At the Eleventh Transformation of the Body Forging Realm—Copper Skin Iron Bones, Force like tides!

At the Twelfth Transformation of the Body Forging Realm—Golden Muscles Jade Bones, Force like steel!

The Tiger-Leopard Thunder Roar greatly shortened the tempering process of Force like steel.

Chen Feng stood motionless, yet his robes billowed and trembled as if gusts of wind were erupting from within his body.

Tiger-leopard roars, thunderous rumbles!

This lasted for a full moment before finally subsiding.

An overwhelming aura instantly radiated from Chen Feng, impacting everything around him.

His Qi and Blood surged, blazing endlessly, enveloping his body in a crimson glow. Like the rising essence of a beacon, it condensed and gathered, manifesting around him like a roaring furnace, scorching and distorting the surrounding space as if it could melt everything into ashes and nothingness.

Qi and Blood Furnace!

"Golden Muscles Jade Bones, Tiger-Leopard Thunder Roar, Qi and Blood Furnace!"

Chen Feng couldn't contain his joy.

Golden Muscles Jade Bones belonged to the Twelfth Transformation of the Body Forging Realm, but the Tiger-Leopard Thunder Roar and Qi and Blood Furnace were typically only achievable by breaking through the shackles of the Twelfth Transformation.

Yet he had attained them a step ahead.

Chen Feng could clearly feel his essence, qi, and spirit boiling as well, rising like surging tides, as if breaking through shackles and surpassing limits, continuously strengthening and ascending toward an astonishing height.

Sublimation!

This was the feeling of sublimation—an all-encompassing elevation and transformation.

His physique, Qi and Blood, and even the intangible essence, qi, and spirit.

Chen Feng had never imagined that merely achieving Golden Muscles Jade Bones and seizing the opportunity to break through his limits to reach the Twelfth Transformation of the Body Forging Realm would result in such an astonishing and immense improvement.

Inconceivable!

Gradually, everything settled into calmness.

Chen Feng exhaled.

A sound akin to howling winds and rumbling thunder erupted, as a blade-like white energy shot through the air, piercing over 30 meters in an instant and striking a solid rock, leaving a visible crack upon impact.

If such a strike had landed on an ordinary person, broken bones and tendons would have been the least of their worries.

Truly, he was increasingly transcending the limits of mortals, ascending toward unimaginable heights.

"I've already broken through to the Twelfth Transformation of the Body Forging Realm... but what about Han Daoling?"

Chen Feng suddenly recalled his bet with Han Daoling and pondered silently.

"However... even if it's the Primordial Spirit Dao Body, it couldn't possibly rival the miraculous and astonishing effects of the Divine Talisman Of Creation..."

"With two days left before the Primordial Spirit Cave closes, I'll attempt to break through to the Thirteenth Transformation of the Body Forging Realm and achieve unparalleled mastery in body forging."
